I used to have a copy that had all the out-takes and rehearsals of Burton doing the narration. Fascinating to hear him trying the lines with different emphasis.
Films rebooted - any better than the original?

Gone in 60 Seconds.
I watched the 1974 version after finding out the 2000 version was a remake.
I'd say the one thing that let the remake down was the diabolicaly crap Eleanor CGI jump at the end. The original was sooooooo much better...and wasn't faked.

Well I know, roughley, what it means although apparently that varies depending on where you live.
The origin is not clear. Most people favour that drinking cups/flasks used to be called boots so "fill your boots"=help yourself.

That's one of my pet hates. The second Matrix movie is dire for that in the freeway chase scenes - But then that's a computer illusion anyway which is a good excuse.
Also every time you see a car flip it seems to lose it's engine, gearbox and drive shaft in the process.

Inglourious Basterds.
The original was actually pretty good, but Tarrantino's effort is very clever, a near masterpiece.

I saw the 2006 stage show. It was fantastic. Sorry, but the recent version isn't near as good as the original. Liam Neeson is no Burton.

Star Trek (2009).
As a lifelong trekkie, this one was great fun and a shot of adrenalin for an ageing franchise. They've never done an origin story and with a crafty time-travel element, this one resets the whole stage.

I wasn’t that impressed with it, but if you compare it to “The Motion Picture”, it’s not even a contest.

Anchorman II.
The original was genius, the sequel almost supernatural in its goodness. Not a remake as such, but worth mentioning as superior sequels are rarer than a hippy without sandals.

As I wrote..........................
It had the late, great Jerry Reed in it, who wrote a lot of the music, performed it, & acted (Snowman)
Even now, 40 years on, '77/'78 Pontiac Trans-Ams are big business in the States
Smokey 2 wasn't bad, but '3' was excreble
